Security Still Shows Deleted Antivirus Product as Installed
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I installed AVG antivirus and
had problems with an error message every time Vista started (this is under PreRC1/5536). So I uninstalled AVG. It was deleted from the programs list and no longer in the programs folder. But the Security Center didn't give me a warning, so I checked it to see what was happening. It still had AVG listed as installed and working! I then installed Trend Micro's PCCillin, thinking it would replace AVG's incorrect setting. However, now it shows both antivirus programs as installed and on. I've made a bug report but wondered if I am the only one to run into this. (I did have a problem the first time I tried to uninstall AVG and it said it wasn't correctly uninstalled. However, after rebooting and trying again, it uninstalled.) |
Security Still Shows Deleted Antivirus Product as Installed
I had AVG problems with the last build & worked along with AVG technical who
could not reproduce the error on load. I tried everything but with UAC enabled AVG produces this error. I installed the free version this time with the PreRC1 worked fine last night on rebooting but have just booted now to find the same error :( When I uninstalled the last time I installed PCCillian also and did note 2 AV's reported - I actually thought this was because I had AVG installed on my first hard drive with XP Pro on it. I am about to uninstall again as I came here to find out if there was a lighter AV than PCCillian. When I ran all the tests last time I did note some files where locked hidden and my Registry cleaner wasn't allowed access to them - this is possibly why you have the multi AV showing (I will have too when I uninstall) I was able to run PCCillian without problem even with the dual AV report by Defender. I thought AVG would be fine this time but :( just found out it's not. "Jo" wrote: Wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
